Our moderators are subscribers who have been invited to assist in the managing of the message forums to ensure that discussions remain respectful, edifying, and enjoyable. Moderators are volunteers and are not monetarily compensated by CatholicMatch nor do they act as representatives for CatholicMatch.com

Moderators have three primary functions and any authority they have is limited to these three areas:

1. Moving topics to the appropriate location, when necessary.

2. Initial review of reported posts in order to determine whether it is in violation of forum rules or the site’s Terms of Use. Any posts in violation will be hidden by a moderator; all actions taken by a moderator in this regard will be reviewed by CatholicMatch staff, who will then take any further action if required.

3. Assisting other subscribers/users who have questions about the way the website works.

When commenting on subjects or activity outside of these areas, moderators are representing their own personal opinion and do not represent CatholicMatch in any way. All moderators are expected to follow the same rules and terms as any other user or subscriber and are not given special privileges. If you have any questions or concerns about how moderators function on CatholicMatch please submit a support ticket.

Thank you.

While staff have moderator authority there are several CM members who serve as moderators. People ten times more patient than I. They do a great job of being tolerant yet drawing the line at uncharitable behavior.

Thanks Patrick! There have been episodes of 'abuse of moderators' but overwhelmingly it has been a very satisfying and lovely experience!
